    I've deleted the outlook express folder from the programs folder after removing from Add remove programs, windows components, then booting up in safe mode, messenger also. then run CCleaner to remove registry entries. No adverse effects here. Haven't tried this but imagine it will work,

    there is also nlite which probably does the trick for a reinstall of windows.

    To "remove" it, go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and select Add/Remove Windows Components. Find OE and unselect and proceed to remove it. This doesn't actually remove program files but removes it from the Programs menu, shortcuts, etc. so that it appears to have been uninstalled. There's really no need to tamper with program/system folders and files; like IE, OE is bundled with Windows, so just leave them alone.
